oo8 ★ LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN AGAIN

[electrowhipit]

[ One can find Jolt in his yard, surrounded by, and very possibly tangled up in, various strings of Christmas lights. He roots through the mess until he disentangles a strand- and with a careful application of a finger to the appropriate end, the lights flicker to life.

This strand is, perhaps appropriately, bright blue, and Jolt grins. ] Not a bad color, if I do say so myself.

[ He coils up the lights and sets them on the grass, then moves on to the next strand and repeats the process. ]

Easy there. A little while yet. [ BUT we can timeskip if you want! ]

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

Oh, right! [Let's do the time warp agaaaaaaaain.]

[electrowhipit]

[ ONE FULLY DECORATED HOUSE LATER- Jolt has put the ladder back in the garage and is just about to plug everything in! ]

Are you ready?

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

[And Flora's practically jumping up and down. IT'S HER FAVORITE PART.] I'm as read as ever!

[electrowhipit]

Okay. Three... two... one... [ FWOOSH LIGHTS AND COLOR EVERYWHERE! \o/

And Jolt is coming over to stand with her and admire their handiwork. ]

[Flora claps, grinning at Jolt.] It's beautiful!

[electrowhipit]

We make a pretty good team, don't we?

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

Of course! We're the best team ever!

[electrowhipit]

[ time for a high five? ]

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

[HIGH FIVES!]

[electrowhipit]

And now, onward to hot chocolate! [ to the kitchen, awaaaaay! ]

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

[Wooo!~ And she'll march after Jolt happily.]

[electrowhipit]

[ once in the kitchen, Jolt begins gathering all of the necessary items for making hot chocolate ]

So, aside from a free trip out of Mayfield, what do you want for Christmas?

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

[She sits down at the table, watching him make one of the best drinks in history.]

Well, a hat or scarf would be nice.

[electrowhipit]

Seriously? What if you could have anything?

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

Anything...? Well, I don't know. I'd be happy with anything I got.

[electrowhipit]

That makes you incredibly hard to shop for, you know that?

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

[She laughs.] Just get me something you think I'd like.

[electrowhipit]

I already did. I was just asking. [ cocoa is ready! he slides her a mug ]

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

[Takes it happily, and taking a drink before she asks that silly question everyone knows they won't get an answer to.]

You did? What is it?

[electrowhipit]

[ and without missing a beat: ] It's a box of rocks.

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

[That earns an amused giggle.] Well, I bet it's the best box of rocks out there.

[electrowhipit]

You know it is.

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

I'd expect nothing less.
